Pittsburg High School has been a good school to me and has given me a lot of knowledge that will assist me in my future college career. This school has many good teachers but some don't care a whole lot. The school offers basic future career studies, but doesn't have many resources or the desire to expand that list. The school is spread out and in really bad shape and the classes are spread out among different buildings across the property. The school is being rebuilt in the near future and this will make it way better.
